Rhubarb & Custard Fool
Rhubarb fool is a traditional British dessert dating back to the 17th century. I combined stewed fruit with cream. It originally contained gooseberries but rhubarb became popular in the 19th century. My version combines rhubarb, custard and cream and it is a really simple dessert to make especially in the summer after a barbecue. I have added some pistachios for some colour and crunch. It is also nice with some shortbread on the side. Jump to recipe Start by roasting the rhub

Cream of Tomato Soup
This is another soup recipe from my cafe and is delicious with or without the cream. It is made from tinned tomatoes and I have added carrot and celery for a bit of sweetness. I find that some tomato soup can have a metallic taste and sugar is added but I like to add a natural sweetness to mine. My husband likes some chilli flakes added to his tomato soup and if you want a spicy soup this is a great addition to the recipe. I served this soup with my sun-dried tomato and olive

Sticky Toffee Pudding
If you ask anyone in my family what my favourite dessert is they will all say Sticky Toffee Pudding!!! It's been my favourite for as long as I can remember. It is a classic british dessert consisting of a dark sponge cake made with dates and topped with a toffee sauce. It can be served with cream, ice cream or custard. It needs to be served with lots of sauce and I prefer a good quality vanilla icecream with mine but you can serve with clotted or double cream. It's a great f
